🏛️ Vintage Balenciaga Le Dix Eau de Toilette 5ml Miniature Splash
An exceptional find for antique fragrance purists, historical couture curators, and vintage miniature scholars: an authentic, first-generation mid-century vintage edition of Balenciaga Le Dix Eau de Toilette (EDT) in its highly collectible 5ml (0.17 Fl. Oz.) micro-scale deluxe splash flacon. Composed masterfully in Paris by Francis Fabron during the golden era of haute couture, this rare piece is modeled after the iconic column architecture of the house. Offered in immaculate, 100% brand new and completely unused condition with a flawless factory full level, as a boxless singleton bottle only (NO outer paper presentation box packaging carton included).
⚠️ Unused Vintage Fluid Status
Please Note: This is an untouched, pre-owned archival asset sourced straight from a private perfume vault collection. The traditional clear dome cap topper plug remains completely undisturbed in its factory seating and has never been opened or pulled by human hands. Due to the multi-decade cellared storage history of this antique collectible, minor age-appropriate natural evaporation (ullage) may have occurred over time. The remaining liquid volume stands exceptionally high and factory full, with the absolute fluid level, crystal clarity, and golden color stability displayed exactly as pictured in the high-resolution listing photographs next to the coin for exact scale reference. Sold strictly as-is.
🏺 Collector Condition & Physical Authenticity Report
The compact, multi-faceted fluted glass column bottle—sculpted to mirror classic architectural pleating—and its matching clear dome cap remain in immaculate cosmetic shape with zero cracks, chips, or surface flea-bites. Because it has been safely cellared away from all light degradation and thermal shifts for decades, the fluid preserves its original uncompromised oil structure before the brand\'s modern era changes. It unrolls an incredibly elegant, powdery opening burst of sparkling vintage aldehydes, fresh bergamot, and sweet coriander spice, before expanding into a sophisticated heart of premium natural iris root, May rose, and indolic jasmine absolute, settling onto a classic base foundation of genuine pre-ban oakmoss, soft leather tones, and real rare Indian Mysore sandalwood oil.
